MAIL: November's Vanity Trove!

And it's day 6 of November! Unlike most months when I go 'What happened to ___(insert month before)___?!?', I want this month to fly by as quickly as possible because this is my last month of school. Forever. *beams* I'll be taking my last exams (Ever.) at the end of this month so the number of posts is going to dwindle a little. But you can bet that I'll make up for it (And more.) after December 7th. :D

Anyway, I received November's Vanity Trove 2 weeks ago, on a Sunday night. Thank you, Courier People, for working so hard and for being so prompt! And of course, thank you, Camy, for the lovely trove of surprises! Opening each trove is like celebrating the start of a new month with a big bang! :D

This month's trove features the Dream Girl Edition. The Vanity Trove team has put together a drawer of 'beauty stories to represent a dream girl's skincare tips and makeup inspiration to help (us) feel beautiful inside-out'!

Laline's Body Cream is a tube of luxurious pamper and utmost care. A concoction of Aloe Vera, Beeswax, Dead Sea Salts, Elastin, Essential Oils and minerals, bathed in the scent of the ocean, this cream is going to give you skin that milk will be jealous of!

For those who aren't familiar with the brand, Laline opened her maiden Singapore store back in May. With a tagline of 'When body meets the soul.', Laline provides a lifestyle of products (Spanning from bath and body care, organic candles to home ambiance.) that will pamper and care for you, starting from within.

Skinc's Pure Happy Hand Dew brings your hands a hydration experience of a whole new level. This paraben-free, encapsulated and non-sticky formula plumps up your hands, by filling in the lines and wrinkles, for a youthful look. This will definitely come in handy when I take some hand shots! Also, my hands tend to get severely dehydrated. :\

Uriage is one French brand which I am very keen to explore. So I'm really glad for this sample of the AquaPRÉCIS Refreshing Gel Cream! This daily moisturizer is made for normal to combination skin. Spotting a light, non-greasy and oil-free (YAY!) formula, this gel cream leaves skin refreshed and hydrated. It also shields the skin from environmental aggression.

ZA's Total Hydration Amino Mineral Refreshing Gel contains 3 key ingredients that will solve most of your skin woes in just one application. The Amino Mineral Complex moisturizes to minimize pores. The Sebum Holding Powder relieves stickiness. And the Vitamin B Derivative keeps skin fresh all day long.

Neogence's Extreme Pore-Reducing Serum effective controls oil production and hence, prevents our pores from clogging up and enlarging. Its secret lies in its formula of Witch Hazel Leaf Extract, Vitamin B3 and Laricyl. Together, the formidable trio cleans, diminishes and tightens pores like no other (Read about the recent Neogence event here.).

Last but not least, there are also samples of Adore's Active Days and Dreamy Nights sanitary napkins. These new sanitary napkins are ultra slim and are gentle on your skin and undergarments, keeping you fresh, cleans and safe always.

Again, there are full-sized products (2!) in this month's Vanity Trove. I really appreciate the variety of brands, as well as the various functions of the products. (: My hands are itching to start on Skinc's Pure Happy Hand Dew! Anyway, just a heads up... You have 8 more days to pre-order the December edition. Vanity Trove is partnering with Israeli brand, Gamila Secret, to bring you beauty goodies, courtesy of Mother Nature (Read all about Gamila Secrethere.).
